Newt Gingrich has won the South Carolina primary decisively. What does this mean? It would appear as though the Republican establishment and the voters do not agree (at least in South Carolina). Florida is one week from today and the early indications are that Gingrich will win in Florida as well. But Mitt Romney has [...]

For all of you long term readers of Arnold’s Ramblings, you recognize that Arnold is generally confused by everything, so let Arnold explain to you his latest confusion: As Arnold writes this, Newt Gingrich and a raft of Republicans have been and are attacking Mitt Romney over Romney’s business career at the evil (at least [...]

The Republican primaries are now in full swing. Iowa showed the surge of Rick Santorum, but Romney still does not look strong enough, yet. Today is New Hampshire, which Romney should win in a landslide. My internet computer was infected with various viruses, so for the past several days I have been dealing with setting [...]

While watching both MSNBC and Fox News this past week, Arnold had the unfortunate experience of seeing Democrats and Republicans selling their respective talking points, and he is finally disgusted with the Democrat position that Republicans are all rich and that Republicans get all their campaign money from the rich. Both of these statements of [...]

Now all of my readers know that Arnold is a moron, so please just try to accept what is coming. This major political insanity regarding the “raising of middle class taxes” is really about maintaining social security premiums at the level they have been for decades.

Mr. Corzine’s response is “I did not intend…” And coincidentally when Attorney General Eric Holder testified to Congress last week he said, “it [...]

Last Wednesday the major central banks in the world decided to reduce interest rates and add substantially more liquidity into their respective counties as a further way to forestall the inevitable. The reality that the central banks do not seem to understand (or want to understand) is that either money borrowed has to be paid [...]

Hopefully you all had a great Thanksgiving. I know I did! There are all manners of disparate news items that individually do not make sense, and collectively do not fit into a mosaic. Here are some examples: For Black Friday there were at least 60 acts of violence, yes violence, during or at shopping events [...]

What is going on here? I just don’t get it! The Occupy Wall Street people are now running roughshod over the 99 percent. The chaos that was caused by the Occupy Wall Street people last week blocking access to Wall Street banks and firms affected the 99 percent; blocking access to the NY Subway system [...]
